Panasonic TH-50PZ77U 50 1080p Plasma HDTV”

 

"I want to buy a flat panel TV." Here is one that could end up on your shopping list. Plasma, 50", 1080p. Nice, very nice.

In my living room, I really like this display, and I would be more than happy with it for years to come. HD programming looks spectacular, SD is acceptable, pixel-perfect images with my HTPC, good black levels and bright enough to use on Sunday...

Panasonic TH-50PZ77U 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV

 

I recommend the PZ77U and I have recommended it to a few people I know, but I wouldn’t call it a product of the year or exceptional value for the money. It could use another HDMI port (maybe on the side), better user based calibration options, and a...

Panasonic TH-42PZ77U Plasma HDTV

 

Introduction A lot of people are ready to sound the death knoll for plasma, asserting that the technology won't be able to keep pace with LCD, in price or volume, over the long term. Rather than try to compete with LCD in a price war, companies like...

Panasonic Viera 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV w/ EZ Sync and Built-in Gallery Player - TH50PZ77U

 

Luckily it was brand new, and so still under warranty. Called Panasonic, and they arranged for a technician to pick up the TV from my house. Exactly one week later, my TV was back and it's been running for a month with no problems. Hopefully this will...

Excellent picture quality, stylish design, anti-glare coating diffuses reflections without sacrificing picture sharpness (light on the screen looks like it does on an LCD with no glass coating). Hook this up to a blu-ray player! Unbelievable

Mine shipped with a faulty board that caused a green 1" wide bar to display intermittently. Optical audio out doesn't pass Dolby Digital from HDMI ; instead it's downmixed to LPCM 2.0, so if you have your PS3 or Xbox hooked up via HDMI and have the TV...

Everything they all said it was!

 

I bought this from newegg on a Friday and their shipper was calling me on Tuesday to arrange delivery. Incredible! They say it's "Front Door" delivery but they'll probably bring it through your door. Pretty good for free.

As everyone else has said, this is just a beautiful television with a HD picture that has great depth, vivid colors, and black blacks. I've had it for almost two months with no problems at all. Be warned though, it is heavy - you'll need two people to...

Have not found any yet. You get use to the second or so it takes when you turn it on.

Fantastic HDTV for the price

 

This is my first HDTV, but after reading up on how good the latest generations of Panasonic Plasmas are I decided to ignore all of my friends that said to get LCD. I have noticed NO image retention so far, but I'm not exactly leaving it on ESPN all day...

Superb picture, very deep blacks. Even hooked up to analog cable (no cable box in this room) I get some of the HD channels, mostly network TV like NBC, ABC, CBS, and they all look great. The TV detected them no problem.

It's annoying trying to get movies in very wide formats to take up the whole screen (2.35:1 anamorphic). There is a manual adjustment for the "zoom" aspect mode (which chops off the sides and attempts to chop off the black bars), but it only adjusts...

Impressed

 

Components hooked up without any problems. Very satisfied. Wonder how Blue Ray looks on it.....

Picture quality is fantastic. I like the quick set up features it offers. It's easy to navigate through the menu and is is very user friendly. Delivery was four days early to my surprise. Only one AIT guy, but I had already planned on having extra help.

none...

Great Plasma HDTV!

 

This plasma can be compared to the very best of Pioneer plasmas at half the price or less! I've got My PS3 hooked up and blu-ray looks amazing at 1080p, even standard dvd's up-converted to 1080p look great. Games never looked so good, you want to keep...

Full HD @ 1080p! Amazing picture quality! Right out of the box, this plasma had a great picture, colors looked natural. The piano black finish makes this plasma look really slick! Looks just as good off as it does on! Speakers on this plasma seem to be...

Only 2 HDMI inputs. Not an issue for me since i'm going to get a receiver that will have at least 3 HDMI inputs. In general plasmas are heavy and run hot.

Arrived today

 

Arrived today, one day after estimated delivery. However, we live in rural se NC and don't get many deliveries in this area. The driver helped me get it in the house and set it on its stand, which I'll be forever grateful for, although I must say the...

Picture quality excellent

Remote responsiveness not so good

Something to See

 

with a little searching you can find a coupon online that will save you a another $100.00 off which makes this a killer deal with free shipping

the picture on this thing is something to see it take a good 2 hours to watch, just to realize how good the picture is! I have HD satellite and this works perfect for the stuff we like to watch. I had no problem with AIT and the shipping except that...

it could have used one more HDMI
